Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows, and then we noticed he has severe coughing. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What symptoms would appear if the child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
The tonsils are located in the throat. Therefore, if there is a small ear tonsillitis, one of the most obvious symptoms is sore throat, difficulty swallowing. Fever is also a common symptom of tonsillitis. In severe cases, the temperature can even reach 40 degrees Celsius. At the same time, symptoms such as headache, body pain, fatigue, and chills may also appear. At this time, the tonsils are also in a red and swollen, congested state. If treatment is delayed, some children may develop serious complications such as nephritis and endocarditis. You can observe the child's condition. If it is already serious, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
